“Do you desire to please God? Then live by faith and follow those who through faith and patience have inherited the promises. Hebrews 11:6 says ‘But without faith, it is impossible to please him…’ It’s impossible!! To let go of your faith just because someone is critical of you is not pleasing to God, nor will it cause you to be the world overcomet that He wants you to be….Paul commands Timothy in 1 Timothy 1:19, ‘… keep a firm grip on your faith.’ Never stop living by faith, and never stop preaching faith no matter how much criticism you may receive. Never stop believing God and never stop standing on His Word!…The Apostle John even wrote in one of his letters that there were those who no longer ‘…acknowledge my authority and refuse to accept what I say …. I decided a long, long time ago not to be moved by what I hear. Just keep on living by faith and receiving the fulfillment of God’s promises – just keep on winning no matter what anybody else says or thinks! I’m going to keep on believing the words of Jesus, ‘If you have faith…nothing shall be impossible unto you’ Matthew 17:20. He did not say if you have grace, or love, or the gifts of the Spirit, He said faith!….The Amplified says ‘…all that we dare ask or think…’In the South we ‘double-dog dare’ people and you just don’t pass up a double dog dare. I believe that God is double-dog daring you to believe Him for the biggest thing you have ever believed Him for! Refuse to give up until it happens! So, go on and dream BIG! Go on and believe BIG and never let go of your faith!'” —–An excerpt from Jerry Savelle’s monthly newsletter
